In Tandem

In Tandem is an exciting new initiative designed to provide a shared bike riding experience for adults and high school age students with special needs who may not be able to ride independently, or who would otherwise benefit from this experience.

Tandem bikes are used to match trained volunteer ‘Captains’ (the rider in the front) with enthusiastic ‘Stokers’ (the rider in the back) from area schools and from nearby Heritage Farm.

• We need bike sponsors to underwrite the cost of a bike.

• We are recruiting local volunteers (including Colgate student-athletes) to train as Captains to partner with Stokers ready to enjoy the teamwork and camaraderie that are key to riding a tandem bike

Weekly rides will take place in and around Hamilton.

In Tandem coordinators will provide customized training for Captains and Stokers before venturing out on public streets and roads.

Captains and Stokers will receive their own T-shirt, water bottle and more!
